Have you prepared a description of your favourite film, book and website? I'm making a video lesson about these topics at the moment, and I'm trying to think of some vocabulary themes.
For the favourite website topic, I think we can say a lot about the features and the website's usefulness. For the film or book, we can describe the plot, but can you think of any other vocabulary themes for these topics?
By the way, my video lesson about the "describe an activity" topic will be ready later today. Because of the delay I'll make it free.
I had my speaking test yesterday in China and the part 2 topic was exactly about "a film that I enjoyed". I'll share my ideas after tomorrow's written exam.
By the way, I must say you're a decent person, Simon, and you really deserve the payment because of your commitment, dedication and passion for all the years past.

Vocabulary for the 'film' theme:
- the leading role
- create a transcendent cinematic experience
- make me misty-eyed
- make me get so emotional
- have our emotions manipulated by a film
- a tearjerker, a weepy
- a sob story
Vocabulary for the 'book' theme:
- I was hooked.
- find it hard to resist it
- keep turning the pages
- a happy ending
- plots full of twists and turns
- a light easy read

By the way, the writing task 2 question for today’s exam in China was:
Some people believe that everyone should be free for healthcare. Others say that we should pay for our own healthcare.
Discuss both views and give your opinion.
Sadly, I was stuck for development in the task 1 report about describing three bar charts, thus, not having enough time for the task 2 essay. Because of that, I might have to resit the test again even though I’ve got better confidence in the other three modules. Really ashamed of myself!
